We're upstate from you a few hundred miles and we're paying over 6k a year in property taxes on a 3 bedroom townhouse.
Y'all are gonna hate me. Yesterday I mailed the check for the real estate and personal property taxes. $1,564.64 for the year, but this includes the homestead exemption because I'm over 65 that exempts the first $20k of assessed value from taxation. This for a 1,700 SF single-family house with attached two-car garage on 1/4 acre lot.
Somebody's got to have one lower than that!
Water & sewer usually runs ~$130/month (city water) sales tax is 6% and food is exempt. So not the cheapest by far but not outrageous either.
I've seen people on other forums complain about property taxes in upstate NY.
.
Eventually, Seattle will run out of people willing to live in far away smaller cities, and drive 40-70 miles a day for what is a lower paid job. Eventually Seattle will run out of people willing to make the morning latté that everybody there enjoys. THE HORROR OF IT!

Here I pay around $2k property tax (garbage/recycling included) for my 3BR/3BA town home.
Water/sewer (also all exterior maintenance, pool, etc.) included in the monthly HOA fee.
I remember looking at Delaware County NY back in the early 90's. It wasnt a county I was allowed to move to when I was working. But I remember the taxes were low-ish. Fast forward Im looking at a few country houses. The taxes are getting nutty. "Wait till the "free" college they just started for the poor gets into full swing. Sunshine state look out, here I come.

That college thing is a joke. I work with a guy who has 2 college attending kids, qualifies monetarily and has been told by the colleges he needs to pay in full and then get a rebate from the state....... nobody has that mess figured out yet.
I hear that every old guy will be required to take in a cute young barista to do his part to save lattés.Given the huge increase in housing prices in the Seattle area I would think that the people who work in the restaurants - servers, cooks, table bussers and more can no longer to afford to there.
